We are happy to announce that the winner of the last month's JMA Architectural Scavenger Hunt is..... Yvonne Ip who was the first to identify the February clue: the Region of Waterloo International Airport terminal, located at 4881 Fountain St N #1, Breslau.
A bit about the Region of Waterloo International Airport:
It was very exciting for us when we were commissioned to design of the regional airport, alongside ZAS. It was 2001, and we were just six years old!
The new terminal for the growing airport would include scheduled domestic and international flights.
Design work for the airport was well underway when 9/11 happened, causing the design work to pivot, as new security regulations came into effect quite quickly, and continued to change as we progressed through the project.
Even if this event weighed heavily in our hearts, we held onto ideas that spoke of the excitement of air travel and the Region's optimistic outlook. There was to be a connection from the sky into the terminal, achieved with the high lofty ceilings in the light-filled space, with glass façades on both the front and back, and that airplane wing inspired curved roof line that soars into the skyline.
Completed in 2003, this project received First Prize for Innovation by the Airport Management Conference of Ontario.
And now, the 7th clue of the JMA Architectural Scavenger Hunt:
The first to respond correctly identifying the building wins a bag of coffee beans (or loose leaf tea, if you prefer) from Matter of Taste, or a gift card from Four All Ice Cream. Your choice! You'll just have to drop by our office to pick up your prize and say hi.
If you can identify the building, please tell us what the building is (for example “the fire/EMS station”) and the location (for example, “in Breslau visible from the road to Guelph after the turnoff for the Breslau bypass” or “51 Beacon Point Ct, Breslau”)
Send your responses to [email protected]. Write Scavenger Hunt on the subject line. The winner will be announced the following month, along with the new clue.
The small print:
If you worked on, or in, the building, or if you are related to anyone who worked on or in, you can’t win. The first one to respond by email with the correct answer, wins. No one can win more than once.
